Hi, this is my first blanket scenario, but if it goes well, I might write
more! I know that I love to read them, so, here's mine!
Blanket Scenario: Love ya!
By: Kitten Kisses
***
"Inuyasha, I-it's too cold, isn't there somewhere w-we could s-stop?"
Kagome asked, walking through the wet slushy snow that was piled up on the
ground. Earlier that day, it had been sleeting, but then it started to
snow, and the snow that was already on the ground turned to ice.
Inuyasha turned around to look at the girl. "Feh, weak humans," he said,
but that wasn't what he was thinking at all. 'I hope I can find shelter
soon, if I don't, she'll freeze to death.'
"T-that's not nice, Inu-**achoo**Yasha." She sneezed lightly, covering her
face with her jacket sleeve. She'd put her jacket on over her bag, so that
the contents would be protected against the rain. Hopefully, they could
get to shelter soon.
"Feh, give me that bag, then maybe you'll be able to walk faster," he
mumbled, scanning the horizon for any kind of shelter. There wasn't any
within sight, however.
She fumbled with the buttons on her jacket, numb fingers being too stiff to
work the contraptions. "I don't think I c-can........."
"Come here, let me do it." Inuyasha leaned forward and undid the buttons
for her; slipping the jacket off for the brief second it took her to remove
her bag from her back. After he had her bag on his back, he slipped the
jacket onto her, and buttoned it back up.
Kagome yawned and put her hands in her sleeves to block out the cold air on
her already numbed fingers. "H-how much further, Inuyasha?"
"I'm not sure, Kagome," her said, taking her arm and pulling her along,
"But we need to hurry, don't stop walking, whatever you do. I'm sure
there'll be a place somewhere; there are always empty buildings that
someone left when they moved. I'll find one, alright?"
"K', if you say so," she mumbled, feeling sleepier, "But it's so c-
cold........"
He slowly felt her slip, and turned around to tug her forward. "Come on,
Kagome, don't go to sleep now, you can't do that, it's not a good idea."
"Sorry, I just, can't........keep my eyes open.......too tired......." Her
eyes slipped shut and Inuyasha sighed and scooped her into his arms gently.
'What'll happen if I can't find shelter? Will she..........' He cut
himself off there, afraid to venture any further on the subject. She would
not die, he would make sure of it. He liked her too much to just lose her
like that.
He walked for several hours without finding any shelter, and he began to
worry. He could feel her get colder, and the terrain was getting higher,
mountains and more snow. The snow pelted down on the couple, causing
Inuyasha's hair to whiten even further. His ears were even starting to
hurt from the cold, the thin fur covering them not any protection against
the intense cold. They were actually turning an unhealthy pink color.
Finally, he spotted a small opening in the rocky surface of the mountain,
and he quickened his pace, hoping to get to it faster. Approaching it, he
was disappointed. The opening was a lot smaller than it appeared from a
distance, but it would have to do. The space was bigger than a small
closet, just enough room for three people to sit in. It was a good thing
there was only two of them.
"Didja see that Kagome?" he asked her unconscious form. "I found some
shelter finally." The hanyou entered the cave, finding it small but snug,
and settled Kagome down on the rocky surface gently. "Don't worry Kagome,
I know it's uncomfortable, just hold on for a second." He felt rather
stupid talking to someone who wasn't even awake, but he had to talk to
someone.
He pulled her pack from his shoulders and rooted around until he found her
sleeping bag, protected from the rain by her jacket. He unrolled it and
spread it out beside him, unzipping the side, but not placing Kagome in
just yet. Her body heat was too low to generate enough heat to keep her
warm inside the bag; but at least she'd be protected from the cold rocky
floor.
He rooted around in her bag more, until he found a thin blanket and a pink
sweatshirt. He wasn't sure if he wanted to chance the sweatshirt, but the
blanket was a necessity. 'How do I keep her warm?' he asked himself
frantically when he saw her insipid face-color. He felt her cheek, and she
leaned her face into his hand gently, asking for more warmth. He decided
to chance the sweatshirt. He really did hate seeing her this way.
The first thing he did was unbutton her jacket, getting the cold and rain-
soaked garment off was a must. Her school blouse wasn't as bad, but it
would have to go. This is where he paused, afraid to continue for fear of
facing her wrath afterwards. She'd probably sit him through the seven
hells when she found out. He thought about the pros and cons. Cons about
removing the shirt were, she might sit him through the floor ten times.
Pros, at least she'd be alive and well, and he could look after her again.
He lifted her arms and pulled the shirt over her head, the unearthly tone
of her arms frightening. He breathed a huge sigh of relief when he saw
that she had some kind of white thing binding her chest. At least she
couldn't sit him for seeing anything. He slipped the sweatshirt over her
head, the light pink of the material contrasting brightly against her pale
skin.
He felt the material of her skirt, grimacing when he saw that it was wetter
than her shirt. He wrestled with the thought of removing it in his head,
but overall deciding against it. She really would sit him through the
seven hells. Her skin was unnaturally cold, and he rubbed her arms roughly
until some color came back into them. He still wasn't satisfied with his
effort, however, and moved to her feet, taking off her soaked socks and
shoes and rubbing until color came into her calves.
Her skin was still white, but deeper, with more color in it. He wasn't
happy with that either, but when she started to shiver violently in her
sleep, he quickly stopped and slipped her into her bag, zipping it up and
covering her with the material. He took his haori off and shook the water
from it before putting it back on. He wished that they were in a hut, he
could have started a fire then, but it was too small here.
He smiled softly when her shivering lessened, and reached out to touch her
face. She was still cold.........what was a way to make her warmer?
'Maybe if I give her my body heat........' he thought, doom casting it's
shadow over him. 'Oh dear God, she'll think I went crazy or that I'm
trying to molest her or something......'
He thought for a few moments before growling softly and touching Kagome's
hand. "Damn woman, I swear that if she sits me, I won't talk to her for a
month." He tossed the blanket over the both of them, making sure to tuck
it around her sleeping bag. He pulled the blanket up to his chin and put
an arm around Kagome and her sleeping bag.
'This would probably be more comfortable if there wasn't a sleeping bag
there,' he thought idly, sleep dragging him down. He glanced at her
sleeping form, surprised when she moved her head to the hollow of his
shoulder, one of her hands sitting on his chest. He gave her a light kiss
on the forehead- only because she was asleep and couldn't sit him, and
pulled her closer.

Kagome reached her hands up into the warmth beside her. She didn't know
what it was, but she was doing her best to find out without opening her
eyes. She felt something like silky hair running through her fingers, and
she felt up until she reached the top of whatever-it-was. Her fingers were
touching something furry and warm, and her fingers wanted the added warmth.
She felt so warm it couldn't be natural.
She rubbed the furries until she heard a deep rumble pour forth. It
sounded familiar.......! 'Inuyasha!' she thought frantically, 'He's going
to kill me for touching his ears!'
When she pulled away though, he growled affectionately and rubbed his ears
against her cheek. She noticed that an arm was around her waist, and that
she had been sleeping with her head on his shoulder. She blushed brightly
and tried to ignore the feel of his ears against her face. Something else
felt different, strange. She couldn't tell what, but she knew that
something was the matter. She looked down at herself under the blankets
and 'eeped' softly. She wasn't in the same shirt she had been when she'd
passed out. He changed her......shirt. Her blushed deepened and flamed to
life.
The feel of his ears against his face was cute, and comforting, but they
made it very hard to concentrate. She absentmindedly reached out and
patted them. They twitched and she smiled timidly. What was she going to
do? Where was she anyway?
It was then that her memories hit her. Inuyasha had been dragging her
along, telling her not to go to sleep, but she'd been so cold. Sleep had
sounded nice then; warmth that wasn't around when she was awake. But she'd
fallen asleep. She could have frozen to death.
Inuyasha had......saved her life. He'd found shelter, changed her wet
clothes, and leant her his body heat. She poked her head under the
blankets and noticed that he hadn't removed her skirt. She probably would
have been warm a lot faster if he had, but she was glad nonetheless.
Now that she thought about it, her legs were kind of chilly. She tucked
herself closer and pressed her face against his chest. He'd stopped his
growling and ear-rubbing-against-face thing, but when she pressed against
him he settled his face in the crook of her neck, nuzzling it gently. That
was hard to ignore.
But she was so tired that she could ignore just about anything. Even his
cute ears and affectionate growling that he'd started up again. She
reached up and patted his ears gently, snuggling as close as she could get
and falling into a deep much-needed sleep.
***
Inuyasha felt Kagome's hand on his ear relax and fall to his shoulder.
He'd liked the attention that she'd given his ears. Kikyo had never done
anything like that. If anything, the woman loathed his ears and couldn't
wait for him to become human for her. He'd never do it.
He wanted to see if Kagome would consent to be his first. If not, he'd
kill Kikyo's body and be done with everything. He'd live hundreds of years
in lonely solitude, but at least he could still be a hanyou. The thought
of becoming a full youkai was appalling now. If Kagome wouldn't accept him
the way he was, too bad.
At least she hadn't sat him through the floor. That was definitely on the
plus side.
They'd been traveling for three years now. She had graduated high school,
and had decided not to go on to college yet. She had told her mother that
she would after the jewel was completed. She was eighteen years old now.
He was twenty. Old enough to marry. In fact, he should have already found
a mate. But he wanted Kagome, and nobody else. He loved her so much. His
heart would break if she declined.
What he didn't know was that she'd elected to help find the jewel shards
instead of college so that she could spend more time with the man she
loved, even if he didn't love her back.
Inuyasha's hand on her hair woke her again, but she didn't move. He
continued to pull his hands through her hair until he sighed and leaned
down to kiss her forehead. Outside the roaring stopped and Inuyasha
sighed, wrestling a battle in his head.
He really wanted to kiss her. To really kiss her. Not just a kiss on the
forehead. She was asleep, so it was safe, right? He finally decided that
it was safe enough, and leaned down to press his lips to hers gently.
Kagome's eyes stayed closed, but he felt her respond immediately.
He deepened the kiss and let his eyes fall shut. He eventually had to pull
away though. He couldn't hold his breath for that long. He nuzzled her
face and laid his head beside hers.
"I love you Inuyasha," she murmured softly, her breath tickling his face.
He felt a smile tug against his features. She loved him!!! His mental
thoughts were rejoicing. Every micro-cell and amoeba was doing the cha-cha
and tango in his head. He let a grin spread across his face. "Y-you do?"
he asked.
"Yeah, I do. I have for a few years now......" she yawned and settled her
head on his chest.
"I-I love you too, Kagome," he whispered. He wanted to ask her to be his
mate, but he couldn't ask that. Humans got married before they
did......that. "Would you.......marry me?" he asked her, his voice
trembling with excitement and nervousness.
"Really!?" she gasped, eyes flying open. "I thought you'd never ask! Of
course, YES!!!!" She hugged him tightly and reached up for a long kiss.
"That was nice," she whispered, setting her head in the hollow of his
shoulder. "But I'm so tired......."
"Tomorrow we'll go home and make preparations, okay?" he asked softly.
"Uh-Huh," she yawned. "That'll work." But she needed to pet the furries
before she went to bed. She rubbed them gently, and Inuyasha leaned his
head down to give her easier access to them.
~-~-~-+-~-~-~
"You WHAT?!?!" Miroku screamed.
"No," Kagome blushed. "Not THAT. We're gonna get married!"
"REALLY?!?!?!" Sango squealed. "When, can I help?"
"Me too!" Shippo squeaked.
"We'll have to have a modern wedding," Kagome informed him, "Or my mom
won't accept it."
"Okay," he agreed, squeezing her hand. "I'll do it for you."
"That's so kawaii," Sango sighed.
"Why don't we get married too?" Miroku asked.
"Yeah! Then we can have a double wedding!"
~-~-~-+-~-~-~
Three months later, Naraku was defeated, and the group got together for
their double wedding.
All of Kagome's friends came, and asked Kagome why she'd ever said
Inuyasha was a selfish two-timer. He didn't act like one. Kagome didn't
know what to say.
Sango and Miroku enjoyed their stay in Kagome's world, but soon retreated
back to where they belonged. Because they weren't educated, they couldn't
live there.
Kagome made her decision to stay and live with Inuyasha in Feudal Japan.
The jewel was wished upon. Their wish was to keep the well working, and
that Kagome, Miroku, and Sango would live their lives as long as Inuyasha
would.
The group of friends didn't want to lose each other. Shippo was adopted
into Kagome and Inuyasha's family, and happily resumed the role of child
#1.
~-~-~-+-~-~-~
"Inuyasha?"
"Hm?"
"Do you still love me?"
"What kind of stupid question is that?" he asked, rolling over in their bed
to look at her.
"I dunno, I just wondered."
"Aw, come on, there's something else."
"Do you really want to know?"
"Yeah."
"Answer my question."
"Yes, Kagome, I love ya!" he leaned over and kissed her. "See?"
"You still wanna know?"
"Yes!"
"You're going to be a father," she smiled.
"R-Really?" he reached over to hug his wife tightly.
"Yeah, are you happy?"
"I'm gonna be a father!" he grinned, eyes wide.
"What do you want? A boy or a girl?"
"A girl," he answered.
"Really? I thought all guys wanted boys."
"That's just Miroku. But I'd be happy with a son too." He smiled and
nuzzled her cheek. "Were you afraid I wouldn't be happy?"
"Sorta. Not really. I just wanted to know."
"I love you, Kagome. I'd be happy with you no matter what you did."
"Even if I had more kids?"
"Yes! Now get some sleep."
"Don't tell me you're going to get all protective and stuff now that I'm
pregnant."
"Yup, of course I am! Night dear, love ya," He kissed her forehead and
leaned back to dream of his child-to-come.
"Love you too Inuyasha," she yawned, wrapping an arm around him and
settling her head on his shoulder.
'And to think that we got this far from a snow-storm.........' she thought.
'Thank God for that snow-storm.........' He grinned. 'It's done me a world
of good.'
